Blue Lupin Bee

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens

Had to do another Bee.  This time the bee is on a Lupin Flower. Through the macro lens, I watched the bee land on the lupin, then open up the flower pod, pull out the stamen, collect the pollen, then fly on to the next one. Some of the bees in this area were so laden down with pollen they could barely fly. With the naked eye, you couldn't see the work of opening the flower pods, so I'm thankful the Macro lens is teaching me the hidden world of nature.
